Summary
The provider fuses the end plates of upper and lower ends of the tibia and fibula to interrupt their growth. This surgical procedure stops the growth of the tibia and fibula to keep them from growing longer than the other leg during the growth phase. The provider performs the procedure to equalize the length of both legs as the patient grows.
